The Lined Parrotfish is a stunning addition to my tank. It’s active and colorful, and it’s adapted well to the environment. I’ve kept it for six months and it’s still healthy and curious about its surroundings.

Great fish with a beautiful striped pattern. It does need a spacious tank and regular feeding, but it’s a joy to watch. I recommend keeping it in a group for more natural behavior.
